easter write-a-thon

This weekend is Easter weekend, which means a whopping four days off school. And tomorrow, the Friday of all Fridays, I am determined to finish my WIP.

I'm 38k in so far, and I have a rough idea of how I'm going to finish the whole thing. It's all about witches and potions and contracts that go back generations. When it's all done, I can give you guys a better description. For now, I just want to get it finished so I can hide it away and not think about it for a few years to come.

Anyways! Three simple steps to the perfect one-day write-a-thon:

1. A place to write. For me, this is my bedroom. It's relatively quiet, and away from both other people and a television (you have no idea how important this is for me).
2. A good breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day, right? So how are you supposed to battle monsters and cast spells without it? I'm torn between pancakes, French toast, or a great big bowl of cereal. Either way, there will be chocolate involved.
3. A plan. I know this is boring, especially if you're an all-out pantser. But I like to have at least some idea of where I'm going. My whole WIP takes place over the span of about two months, and I'm down to the last two days. With a little luck, I only have one more day to go before before it's all done.

I hope you can get some writing done over the long weekend--or, better yet, spend it with your family. And, when I do finish, I plan on rewarding myself with something wonderful and chocolate filled. Always a good way to get me through the day :)
